What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical technique that uses a concentrated beam of light, or laser, to selectively target and eliminate unwanted hair. This procedure offers several benefits over traditional hair removal methods, including long-lasting results and reduced maintenance. By eliminating the need for frequent shaving, waxing, or plucking, laser hair removal can simplify your beauty routine and provide a more convenient and effective way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin.
During the treatment, a laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This converts the light energy to heat, which damages the hair follicles and inhibits or delays future hair growth. The procedure is most effective for individuals with light skin and dark hair, but it can be used on all skin types. It can lead to finer and lighter regrowth of hair, making it less noticeable and more manageable. However, it is essential to follow specific instructions before and after the treatment to reduce the risk of side effects, which can include blistering, infections, scarring, and changes in skin color.
Silky Smooth Confidence
What are the benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
If you're tired of constantly removing unwanted hair, then laser hair removal could be the solution you've been looking for. The laser can target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Laser hair removal is less likely to cause irritation or ingrown hairs, which in turn can minimize inflammation, bumps, and itching associated with traditional hair removal methods like waxing or shaving.
With enough treatments, some people may even experience permanent hair loss in certain areas, saving them time and money in the long run. Additionally, you won't have to worry about ongoing maintenance like buying shaving or waxing products, which can add up over time.
It's essential to note that laser hair removal is a safe and effective method for removing unwanted hair from various body areas, including the face, legs, back, arms, and bikini line. However, the experience of the operator and the choice of laser technology can affect its effectiveness. Therefore, it's crucial to choose a reputable provider with experience in laser hair removal.
Throw Away Your Razors
Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure
At the start of your treatment of laser hair removal Woodland Hills professionals will cleanse the area to be treated and apply a thin layer of clear gel. You will feel a cold sensation as the laser tip has cooling technology to maximize comfort. The emitted light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles and the heat damages the hair follicles, inhibiting hair growth. During the procedure, patients might feel a warm pinprick sensation, however, the cooling tip on our device provides a cooling effect and added comfort for our patients. The treatment duration depends on the area being treated, with small areas like the upper lip taking only a few minutes while larger areas such as the back may take more than an hour.
To reduce the risk of side effects, such as changes in skin color, blistering, scarring, and infections, patients must follow specific instructions before and after the treatment. Usually, multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be necessary as well. The operator's skill and experience, as well as the choice and availability of different laser technologies used for the treatment, influence the procedure's safety and efficacy.

After completing the treatment course, the area will feel smooth, with a permanent reduction in hair growth.

Avoid applying any lotion, sunscreen, perfume, or other similar cosmetics to the surface of your skin. Shave 1-3 days before your session, ideally a close shave (no hair outside the skin) is best to maximize results.
Avoid sun exposure until the skin has returned to its normal baseline (no redness or swelling). Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin. Do not use any other hair removal treatment products or services (waxing, electrolysis, or tweezing) that will disturb the hair follicle in the treatment area. Wash the treated area and pat dry for 3 days after treatment. Do not scrub. Start gently scrubbing the treated area on the 4th day (ex-foliate).
